Timing the Epoch

 OPENING ONE'S MAILBOX can be a grand adventure. Recently mine contained a newspaper, uninvited, but offered  presumably as an enticement. On standard newsprint, its name was "The Epoch Times". its mission statement was "truth and tradition". When the two conflict, I wondered, which prevails, truth, or tradition? People do not confine their embrace of tradition to only those which are true, you see. The publication said it had existed for twenty years, and that it presented a centrist point of view politically. I immediately begged to differ; to me the rag seemed downright far right. Another of its stated missions was to fight an alleged communist encroachment into the United States. That was news to me; I had not been aware that communism was infiltrating America, other than perhaps in a few coffee shops in places like Berkeley and Cambridge. The Epoch times assured me that the commie threat is omnipresent, without specifying exactly where, by whom, or in what form. Perhaps the presidential candidacy of Bernie Sanders, or the Democratic party generally. An article titled "The Big Green Lie' further assured me that the enemy is not the false science of climate change, but rather, the socialism impulse behind it. The supposed "best science" of climate change is only alleged; when someone points out the gaping holes in it, the person is automatically labeled a climate change "denier", and that's that. how horrid. Tens of thousands of scientists, decade after decade, all over the world, motivated by nothing more than a desire to restructure the world's economic and political systems to socialism, statism, to control the people and banish capitalism's freedom. There are many factors influencing the world's climate other than carbon injected into the atmosphere by human industrial activity, and, the Epoch Times assumes, seemingly, that the world's scientists are unaware of that fact, and haven't taken it into account. All the climate scientists of the world, unaware that there are many factors contributing to the climate. They are grossly under educated, evidently. Thus, there is no need to concern ourselves with climate change, global warming is a mere theory, brought to us by fanciful scientists whose real agenda is socialism. we must turn our attention to the real enemy, socialism or communism, your choice.
